With almost all of us running in the dark this time of year, be extra certain to BE SEEN. There are so many ways to be seen by motorists, bicyclists, and other pedestrians. Highly reflective hats, shirts, jackets, shorts and long running pants are a good idea. Consider running with a headlamp that has a rear indicator light or attach a clip-on flashing light to let others know you are approaching. Bright clothing helps during the daylight hours, but is not seen any better than dark clothing at night unless there are some built-in reflective features. Lastly, if your clothing isn’t reflective, wearing a reflective vest or arm bands with blinking LED lights that can be worn over any clothing is a cost effective way to BE SEEN.
